Member Function Documentation

virtual void BALL::Fragment::dump	(	std::ostream &	s = std::cout,
		Size	depth = 0
	)			const [virtual]

Internal state dump.

Dump the current internal state to the output ostream s with dumping depth depth .

Parameters:

	s	- output stream where to output the internal state
	depth	- the dumping depth

Reimplemented from BALL::AtomContainer.

Reimplemented in BALL::Nucleotide, and BALL::Residue.
